Trauma triggers a fight or flight response, flooding your system with cortisol. The trauma response is easily re-triggered by events that evoke similar feelings or sensations.
Over time your mind becomes tangled in fear, anxiety, depression and your body can store these patterns as tight muscles, pain, illness, behavioural compensations and avoidances. This repeated flooding can also weaken your immune system.
Trauma isn’t just in your mind
It’s wired into your body.
